As summer winds down and school starts back, we want to recognize the incredible crew that helped make this season such a great one.

They worked hard, kept things moving, took care of our guests, and brought a whole lot of fun and positive energy to the river every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better team.

Thank you for an unforgettable summer—we’re proud of this crew! 💚🛶

I'm incredibly grateful to say...

The river is open, the parks are open, and Bastrop River Co is back on the water.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our fundraiser, shared our story, sent encouraging messages, or simply reminded us why what we do matters. Your support meant more than you know. Gift cards for our supporters are on the way.

A special thank you to Zia Lowe with RE/MAX, Corey at Urban Beauty Bastrop, and the City of Bastrop—especially Jess, Jason, and Andreas—for helping make sure everything was ready as soon as the river was safe to reopen.

We're proud to be part of this community, and we're thankful this community has our back.

Now... let's go kayaking. We'll see you on the river.

River Update - Please don't Scroll

GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/50c49b4bf

We've spent years helping people experience one of the best parts of Bastrop—the Colorado River.

Right now, though, the river has other plans.

For more than a week, Bastrop River Co has been completely shut down because of flooding caused by upstream water releases. We don't know when we'll be able to reopen, and every day we're closed means more canceled reservations, more refunds, and another day we can't do what we love.

We're not looking for a handout.

We're asking our community to help us get through something that's completely outside of our control so we can continue serving Bastrop for years to come.

If you'd like to help, there are three ways:

🚣 1. Come paddle with us when the river reopens. Your business means everything to us.

💙 2. Support our GoFundMe. Every donation comes with a Bastrop River Co gift card, so you're investing in a future trip on the river.

📣 3. Share this post. Even if you can't donate, helping us spread the word makes a huge difference.

To everyone who has called, messaged, checked on us, or offered encouragement over the past week—thank you. It means more than you know.

We're proud to be Bastrop's river outfitter, and with your help, we'll be back on the water as soon as it's safe.

Thank you for believing in us.

This photo says two things.

Some people planned ahead.

Everyone else is watching from shore.

On July 4th, 72 people will launch from Fisherman's Park and watch the fireworks from the middle of the river.

It's one of those experiences you'll remember long after the fireworks are over.

Seats are almost gone, and once every kayak is reserved, that's it.

Don't be the person saying, "We should've bought tickets."

Book your spot today.

Imagine watching the 4th of July fireworks from right here. 🇺🇸🛶🎆

We're offering a limited number of kayak rentals for Fireworks on the River, launching from our exclusive access at Fisherman's Park, directly across from where the fireworks will light up the night sky.

We only have 72 seats available, and they're going fast!

If you've been thinking about coming, this is your sign. Once the kayaks are gone, they're gone.

Reserve your spot today and celebrate Independence Day from a perspective you'll never forget.
